Security During Lice Treatment

If your child has lice his normal routine will be disrupted. He will need to spend one full day at a lice treatment center for a thorough comb-out and shampoo treatment. That is followed by weeks of checking and combing. Whenever a child is off-schedule he starts to feel insecure. To give the child a sense of security and stability, frequently touch and hold your child. That means you should just walk over to your child and give him a hug, massage, kiss, pat on the head or any other loving physical gesture. This will make him feel calm and relaxed. Lice is scary for kids. Your softness will go a long way in quelling the lice fears your child may experience.
